In this tutorial we will see to find the Transformer Rating in KVA?
We know that, Transformers are always rated in kVA.
We can see below the two simple formulas are to find the rating of Single phase and Three phase Transformers.
For example the above fig. shows the rating of Transformer is 100kVA.
Primary Voltages or High Voltages (H.V) is 11000 V = 11kV.
Primary Current on High Voltage side is 5.25 Amperes.
And
Secondary voltages or Low Voltages (L.V) is 415 Volts
Secondary Current (Current on Low voltages side) is 139.1 Amp.
Now let us see how to calculate the rating of transformer according to
P=V x I (Primary voltage x primary current)
P = 11000V x 5.25A = 57,750 VA = 57.75kVA
Or P = V x I (Secondary voltages x Secondary Current)
P= 415V x 139.1A = 57,726 VA = 57.72kVA
We noticed that the rating of Transformer (on Nameplate) is 100kVA but according to calculation...it comes about 57 kVA
The difference comes due to ignorance of that we used single phase formula instead of three phase formula.
Now we will use this formula
P =√3 x 11000V x 5.25A = 1.732 x 11000V x 5.25A = 100,025VA (or)
P=100KVA
Or
P = √3 x V x I (Secondary voltages x Secondary Current)
P= √3 x 415V x 139.1A = 1.732 x 415V x 139.1A= 99,985 VA (or)
P= 99.98kVA
Consider the (next) following example.
Voltage (Line to line) = 208 V.
Current (Line Current) = 139 A
Now rating of the three phase transformer
P = 50077 VA = 50kVA
We know that, Transformers are always rated in kVA.
We can see below the two simple formulas are to find the rating of Single phase and Three phase Transformers.
Rating of Single Phase Transformer:
P = V x I.Rating of a single phase transformer in kVA
KVA= (V x I) / 1000Rating of a Three Phase Transformer:
P = √3 V x IRating of a Three phase transformer in kVA
KVA = (√3 V x I) /1000 For example the above fig. shows the rating of Transformer is 100kVA.
Primary Voltages or High Voltages (H.V) is 11000 V = 11kV.
Primary Current on High Voltage side is 5.25 Amperes.
And
Secondary voltages or Low Voltages (L.V) is 415 Volts
Secondary Current (Current on Low voltages side) is 139.1 Amp.
Now let us see how to calculate the rating of transformer according to
P=V x I (Primary voltage x primary current)
P = 11000V x 5.25A = 57,750 VA = 57.75kVA
Or P = V x I (Secondary voltages x Secondary Current)
P= 415V x 139.1A = 57,726 VA = 57.72kVA
We noticed that the rating of Transformer (on Nameplate) is 100kVA but according to calculation...it comes about 57 kVA
The difference comes due to ignorance of that we used single phase formula instead of three phase formula.
Now we will use this formula
P = √3 x V x I
P=√3 Vx I (Primary voltage x primary current)P =√3 x 11000V x 5.25A = 1.732 x 11000V x 5.25A = 100,025VA (or)
P=100KVA
Or
P = √3 x V x I (Secondary voltages x Secondary Current)
P= √3 x 415V x 139.1A = 1.732 x 415V x 139.1A= 99,985 VA (or)
P= 99.98kVA
Consider the (next) following example.
Voltage (Line to line) = 208 V.
Current (Line Current) = 139 A
Now rating of the three phase transformer
P = √3 x V x I
P = √3 x 208 x 139A = 1.732 x 208 x 139P = 50077 VA = 50kVA
